LA Productions has won its second commission from Channel 5, following 2019’s Clink.
Compulsion is a 4-part thriller telling the story of a paramedic, suffering from PTSD, who uses gambling to escape her pain.
It has been written and created by Sarah Deane and stars Leanne Best in the lead role, alongside Anna Chancellor and Hayley Mills.
“We are delighted to have been commissioned by Channel 5 for the second time in just three years,” said Colin McKeown, Executive Producer at LA Productions.
“We have a very strong line-up of talented actors and actresses, including BAFTA and Olivier Awards nominee Anna Chancellor, so we are confident this will be a huge hit with viewers.
“We are encouraging everyone to tune in on Channel 5 next week. They will not be disappointed!”
It will air across 4 consecutive nights on Channel 5 from April 12th at 9pm.
